The Toyota Camry is big not only in the
United States but also in the Russian Federation. The midsize sedan is so
popular over there that Toyota is offering it in a special edition exclusively
for Russia. It’s called the Camry S-Edition and it brings a number of styling
and equipment upgrades. For starters, S-Edition models have a two-tone exterior
combining a pearl white body with standard black roof, A-pillars, mirror caps,
boot lid spoiler, and door inserts.
However, one can also have the Camry
S-Edition in all-black and these are pretty much all the available paints.
Described as “the most daring version of the model in the history of Russia,”
the Toyota Camry also features two-tone 18-inch alloys, red accents on the
front and rear bumpers, taillights with black inserts, and S-Edition logo on
the trunk lid.
The sporty theme carries over inside with
the sports front seats, red stitching on the seats, dashboard and center
armrest, as well as red inserts on all seats.
Unfortunately, the dynamic character of
the Camry S-Edition is not backed by a powertrain upgrade. The only engine
choice is the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline unit rated
at 181 PS and 231 Nm of torque. A six-speed automatic
transmission is standard and sends power to the front wheels only.
The Camry S-Edition starts at 2,104,000
rubles (US$ 33,500) in Russia and the good news is it comes with standard all-LED
exterior lighting, Toyota Safety Sense kit and Winter Comfort heating package,
among other things.
